Look at that face! Baby A is truly a special little boy. He is full of life and love and joy. He is also growing and thriving against all odds. Born at just over 1 pound at 27 weeks he fought through myriad of health issues including a congenital heart disorder. My heart beaks for his momma when I think that she wasn’t able to hold her little fighter until he was nearly 2 months old. He did give her an amazing gift of overcoming odds to come home on Mother’s Day!

As in awe of this little man as I am, my respect for his mother is limitless. As a single mom she is balancing a special needs little one with full time work. She was full of love for her son, it just poured out of her. Her face lit up whenever she looked at him. Grandma’s love was just as palpable. This little man is truly blessed with strong women who adore him.

Today he is a year old! To mark this miraculous occasion we enjoyed an amazing in home session family photography session. I love in home family sessions! They are so relaxed and authentic. I watch little ones read and grow. I watch parents love and lead. Then I document it all for generations to come!
